- Quotes -

"When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are
happy; neither ignorance or distress is to be found among them; my jails
are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want;
the taxes are not oppressive... when these things can be said, then may
that country boast it constitution and its government." - Thomas
Paine
